I'll be happy just to be able to run the distance and then I can concentrate on 'speed' ... isnt it funny how being away from one discipline makes you want to do it more? ok ok I know this is not necc the case with the pool for you lot, is it just a case of running being the one ?

its definitely the case with running..............as soon as i'm injured I really fancy running...........

missed my run today so will fit it in later in the week.....didn't get up at 5:30 this morning...........after swimming had to fit in sons for school taxing and mother shopping......and then tonight was squash.................managed 5-0 again against hubby but it can close in the last game

thought about running home but decided would keep my legs fresh for tomorrows bike ride.....

For me running gives the biggest 'feel good' factor. Nothing else quite comes close and I think that's what I miss when I'm unable to do it so I do understand Melds. Hopefully you are well on your way to recovery now

Seren I don't know about incredibly quickly. I'm hoping for a PB but and I am focusing on running, but anything can happen.

I always thought that for me it was because the running came first, I enjoy the other two but I am not sure I would have the same longing if I were unable to do it for an extended period of time?

I have to say tho being off running has made me want to do another Ultra and I may have that opportunity later this year with Lanza being early enough to make a recovery

In other news I thought I had a mild ear infection/niggle/water logged but last night I have developed a sore throat and a bit glandy all on the same side so have taken some parrots-ate-em-all to see if I can shift whatever is lingering, didnt swim today in case it compounded any issues

I should be swimming tonight but may bin it in favour of a longer run. I don't know whether I've got a favourite sport, swimming currently veers between really interesting and frustrating depending on what's on the set list, I could probably do with some 1:1 on my 'off' strokes (which is anything not front crawl). Had a bit of a breakthrough on my last LSR so feeling the running love at the moment, so just need to work a little more on cycling mojo.

5 should be ok for you Chav ... you have been building up quite nicely I would have thought

I have done nothing today, still got a sore throat and am a bit tired, I have a 'marathon clinic' tomorrow which is basically consisting of a free 30 min physio appt and a free 30 min sports massage, both of which I can make very good use of especially as the physio will include a flexibility test and a gait analysis ... next step on the way to recovery!!!

No not through work .. through the gym that I use, they do a lot of incentives, this one is for newbie marathon runners I think but they cant discriminate against me It also includes (I think) then a discount package for physio if further treatment is needed Its a nice little gym
